Biology at its best - songs, stories, sex and dissections!

Come and enjoy eight snappy science presentations from all over the world of biology (including two from CBA members, Crid and Nick) with relaxing beverages at Smith's Alternative Bookshop.

• Erin Walsh (Biology, ANU) loves you for your brain, especially your corpus callosum, and she wants to analyse it in a special new way (that she promises does not involve a scalpel).
• Ceridwen Fraser (Fenner School, ANU) was named ACT Scientist of the Year for her Antarctic research. So when she says kelp is really interesting, we believe her!
• Sex and Death in the Universe – all in a day’s work for Astrobiologist Charley Lineweaver (Astronomy, ANU), who’s on the hunt for life on other planets.
• Evolutionary biologist Nick Matzke (Biology, ANU) has analysed anti-evolution policies in the US. Guess what, they’ve evolved!
• Journalist Rebecca Blackburn is going to talk a complete load of garbage – the huge garbage patch that’s in the middle of the pacific.
• Physicist Phil Dooley (Phil Up On Science & ANU) is bringing along some amazing technology for analysing waves. They’re called ears and eyes.
• Ecologist and hip hop artist Dave Wong (AKA Diplo D) is gonna get you thinking like a lizard.
• And one vacant slot – for YOU to fill! Contact Phil Dooley to get involved.
